Yes, sure.  What I meant to say is that it’s often preferable to have
focused branches, than to have break-the-world branches where it can be
hard to find out what specific upgrade broke something.

Of course we’re limited by the available CPU power on Hydra, so we can’t
just have one branch being built for each package upgrade.
